Presentation Schedule
- 11:00 AM Mindfullness: Mindfulness is a skill to orient ourselves in the actual moment we are experiencing. We are also less reactive, stressed, and overwhelmed. This program will teach or remind you of why this is so practical and restorative. Taught through simple exercises, we will expand into uses in everyday life. Join Kathy Mitchell, who was a psychotherapist for over 40 years. She began practicing and teaching mindfulness and meditation 13 years ago and has offered programs on related topics throughout the community. In retirement, she continues to offer virtual, monthly Mindfulness programs and leads area meditation groups.
